I draw my Schade all the time, and in various forms. I guess you could call him a demon of sorts. His abilities are that of shadows/ darkness. (Though this image of him is more on the adorable side. lol). Schade is a some-what villain/ some-what anti-hero type. He is generally pretty serious, often rather brooding. He doesn't exactly enjoy being dressed up...and he's not super fond of being Chibi (even though I LOVE drawing him as Chibi). He's pretty much the exact opposite of me: I'm usually bubbly and perky...He's usually sarcastic and un-perky. His colors are black, blood red, fire red, orange, and yellow." class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/awolninsanitybyawol.jpg" title="Awol (a variation of myself as a dream alter ego) is nothing more than a figment of her creator's imagination. She only exists in the world of dreams, and every odd and mysterious thing she encounters, processes into her creator's mind as an idea to be used for later use. She has many strange adventures that usually leave her creator confused and discombobulated, but most of the time she's able to finalize an idea and ready it to be brought into the human world. Her clothes consist of general work attire, as she never has time for leisure and is always searching for something new and magical to transfer to the real world through her creator's abilities. 

iNSANiTY is a spirit that haunts Awol, usually sneaking along as said Dreamer searches for new ways to produce creativity, and plotting ways to manipulate and distort whatever she comes across. She is very mischievous, shows no shred of empathy whatsoever, and openly mocks Awol's dreams (which are what turn into her creator's own aspirations) and tries to rip them apart before they even have a chance to conceive  She was born from Awol's own self doubt, and now it's Awol's duty to one day (or night) confront the demon and learn to overcome its power over her, proving to herself that she's only an illusion. iNSANiTY will remain the way she is, until Awol reaches a certain equilibrium where she is strong enough to stand her ground and protect the unmarked canvas of her creator's imagination. And when that time comes, iNSANiTY will evolve into iNFiNiTY. " class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/byDieneXavierDream.jpg" title="So most of you have seen her before, its Diene Xavier Dream, my dream self! Diene is a name someone close to me gave me after an important dream he had when we were kids and I have identified with it since, it literally came from dreamspeak o_o Xavier means &quot;bright&quot; and Dream also means &quot;vision&quot; so I use DienexDream to help me think about lucid dreaming when awake. This is how I see myself in lucid dreams in particular (and the &quot;transformation sequence&quot; is pretty snazzy) She is very adept with tonfa blades and likes to hit up the 00ntzy clubs ;) I have encountered this dragon in my lucid dreams though I have not been able to befriend or ride him and flying on a dragon is what I have been wanting to do since I learned about lucid dreaming! Hopefully this piece will help trigger such an event. NiGHTS represents how thankful I am to have even getting this close to my &quot;dreams&quot; I can truly live a second life." class="shutterset_set_67" >

I would feel proud that I would not be dependent on anyone and being able to take care of myself, and being able to protect others with the strength I would have.

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/byarthur.jpg" title="Since I was to make a dream alter ego of myself, I thought a lot about how my personality is. The elements in this drawing have a lot of meaning for me, for instance, the masks are the three main ways I act around people when the real me is a mix of all those with more added to it. The first mask (one with the glasses) is the student, video game player and computer addict, the stereotype nerd, which makes a lot of people say i'm a genius when all I do is to study and get good grades on school. The second one (the one in the middle) is the son, the brother, the friend and relative in general, I'm really quiet when I'm around older people or strangers but tend to relax a lot when I'm around my friends or brothers. And last but never least, the artist (the one with the Reala-like make up on one eye), I tend to be shy of showing my work and full of quirks, like not telling what I'm drawing until it's done. The clawed hand that holds the masks is the defects that we all have, in my case, I tend to be insensitive and hurtful sometimes, so nothing better than claws that can hurt. The hood and coat are the shier part of me, the part that wants to stay hidden and alone and all the buckles are meant to hold the disguise tight on, so tight even I have problems taking it off. Lastly, the necklace with the Ideya, I thought I should keep them somewhere safe instead of let them float around so I held them there in a smaller shape so it's hard for the nightmares to get me.

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/bybrittney.jpg" title="This is a picture of me in a form I was able to achieve in lucid dreaming. My favorite sport is tennis, which makes scents, because I have a Nightopien tennis court! Here you can see me going for high shot above my mid-air court. I also have a dream Disneyland, where the Haunted Mansion is always Holiday or NiGHTS themed and California Adventure is unchanged.  When not playing tennis or exploring my “dream Disneyland,” I own a laser tag arena in Delight City. My outfit glows bright neon in the arena, but I’m almost never visible. Why? Because my outfit glows the same colors as two thirds of the place! In Nightopia or the real world, never challenge me to laser tag unless you want to lose! The last time I dreamt this form was playing with NiGHTS in said arena." class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/bychaoticfox.jpg" title="Ever since I began drawing, I've always used this character as a representation of myself, a vehicle I could use to enter a world of dreams and fantasy.  His design isn't the most extravagant, as he is intended to reflect my own appearance, but throughout my life as an artist, I've used this character to express my innermost emotions, desires, fantasies and dreams - unbound by the constraints of reality or some of my own personal weaknesses.  I have often lived vicariously through this avatar, and even relied on him as a source of comfort when I felt there was nowhere left to turn.  He has always been my dream self personified, often suffering from many of the same human flaws, but always finding the strength to face and overcome them where I could not have done so alone.  I have used both him and my drawings as a way to cope with the real world and some of my most difficult trials.  While his appearance and temperament often change with my mood, he has always stood by my side ready to take me into my world of dreams." class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/byjessicastanley.jpg" title="I've been trying to cope with chronic depression ever since I was ten....so that's six years now. Before I had medication in my system, I constantly felt rejected, ugly, and worthless, and pain stabbed my soul every single second of  my life. I really wasn't rejected, ugly, or worthless- that was just a figment of my imagination- but I truly believed I was. For no reason whatsoever. Then I got some help in the forms of fat happy pills and kooky psychiatrists, and that pain abruptly stopped. So I had to recreate my entire self on top of the old torn up me, and I'm happy to say I did do it, and pretty nicely too. Now with a bit of help, I'm a cheerful gal, but that's really just a pretty face on top of a mangled skeleton. I'm still struggling a bit on the inside. In my dream world.....I can experience the comfortable darkness of my depression without really being depressed. Because I like the dark. Just not the sadness. ^^" class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/ideyafairybydarian.jpg" title="For this entry, I based it entirely off of my real dreams. 
I don't identify myself with creatures, I'm always just myself. But in my dreams, I'm a magical girl a lot of the time. I always have wands, spells, and pretty costumes. 
So instead of designing a completely new creature- I wanted to stay true to myself and draw me as a magical girl of Nightopia! I took inspiration from the Nightopians because I've always related to them! (Also the blue chips I used in my wand! :) )
So I introduce to you my alter ego-
Pretty Good Dream Magical Girl - Ideya Fairy! " class="shutterset_set_67" >

			<a href="http://www.nightsintodreams.com/wp-content/gallery/inmydreamswinners/luffetbymesfin.jpg" title="An artist who can't draw. A crafter who can't craft. Luffet so despairingly wanted to join this fantastical world of artists, yet had no skill for art. All he could do was write, an overlooked skill in this field. When he entered the dream world, he found that he possessed the Blue Ideya of Intelligence, for his admirable literature skills. Sadly, he was rather low on courage, and so he wasn't deemed worthy enough of a visit by the flying jester. As of now, he has only gained access to one of his deamscapes. The world of creation, Techněland. A world made of felt and various bobbles, where the rivers flow with paint. He's not in that much of a rush for self discovery though, so staying there is fine by him. The outfit he wears is made from the various parts of the land, tailored in part by the felt Nightopians that roam the land. The red gem on his vest is a glass replica of the one NiGHTS has, made in an attempt to look like the strange creature of the Nightopian's stories." class="shutterset_set_67" >

Some of his design motifs, such as the cape, and the pink stripe on his head are symbolic pieces of dreams I've had.. other colors represent personal favorites. There is a flame in his chest that is white at its core, but with flecks of color of the other Ideya. I also put some of my personality into him; I can often be kinda quiet so in this pic his mouth is not visible. There may be a zany streak lurking beneath the surface.." class="shutterset_set_67" >

*Is reptilian since I always go by the nickname 'Raptor'. Quick, flexible, and vicious
*Bony and thin because of my nature to allow others to have their ways while 'starving' myself
*Has a bull's nose ring because of the tendency to wreck things without meaning to, as well as the fact that I am much more happy being led than leading.
*Each tattoo (the raincloud and dog), trinket (the two feathers on the right wrist), and banner (on the tail and around the waist) are for a different friend or family member.
*Has webbed hands/feet because I consider water to be my element
*Wears bandages on forearms/calves to cover scars, representing how I show a clean face to others despite having serious problems.
*Has thin, near-useless wings because in dreams I have always had terrible take-offs. Removing myself from gravity has always been a chore and challenge in that respect.
*Wields a Blue Ideya, since intelligence and the pursuit of wisdom are my highest callings in life." class="shutterset_set_67" >

He is my creativity and inspiration in a visible form.  Sal has had his own struggles, as have I, and lived in my mind's 'limbo' for probably eight or so years until I pulled him out.  Sal reflects how I feel, and is my inner voice, like NiGHTS and Nightopia reflect the dreamers that go there.  NiGHTS and Sal both helped me begin my desire to pursue my dreams and to believe in them.  Like NiGHTS, Sal helped me look inside myself and learn more about my hopes, dreams and wishes for my future.  If not for Sal, I wouldn't be where I am today." class="shutterset_set_67" >
